Viking Waffles Marketing

VIKING WAFFLES MARKETING

Viking Waffles Happens to be a unique brand which deserves a unique approach to marketing to bring in more sales.

What happens to make the marketing of the brand unique is that the CEO of Viking Waffles already has a large social media audience to work from. This is where a lot of current business is generated and this means you can generate new business from already existing accounts.

IN THIS CASE WE WILL USE THE UPSIDE DOWN FUNNEL STRATEGY

This strategy will be the easiest way for Viking Waffles to generate sales because it focuses on engaging with its current audience.

Our largest audience at Viking Waffles is based on Instagram so that is where we should focus most of our marketing

UPSIDE DOWN FUNNEL IMPLEMENTATION

Create a VIP system for current customers that order in Bulk and also Celebrity customers

Create a referral system that allows the friends to introduce other friends to viking waffles and get a prize ( for example you receive a free waffle or discount code if you refer your friend to buy Viking Waffles)

Create Custom Instagram Direct Messages for sales promotions and send them to the followers of Celebrities and Influencers who already buy Viking Waffles. They will be more willing to buy Viking Waffles because their favorite Athlete, Influencer, or Celebrity buys Viking Waffles

Create contests

Request Shoutouts for @viking.waffles by pages that follow @benedicte.engen and @squatsforall who have a large following

Direct Message new followers

Based on my experience at Viking Waffles so far I believe I would be more valuable to the company if I work on the Administrative role and developing the role to make it easier to onboard new employees. I see areas where I can help make the administrative role more efficient as well as take time off of your hands so you can focus on sales. Also since Instagram is your largest marketing tool I can manage the marketing of the @viking.waffles page.
